You might be surprised to learn that during practice or even during a lesson many of my students focus on something other than what they are actually trying to improve. For instance a golfer may be working on good direction and then focus on the distance the shot traveled rather than paying attention only to the parts of the swing that impact direction.
When you embark on an improvement process, take the time to list in detail the swing parts that must be executed properly to succeed. For instance in a practice session on "direction", focus on alignment first then then club face at impact and finally swing path. Why concern your self with distance or trajectory hight? Don't even concern yourself with quality of contact. Improving contact is another practice/lesson session
